Darkness covers Chris Koch's musical world view with a twist of jazz. Which is not to say he's a complete pessimist. There are beautiful moments in the music, featuring members of the NJ outside jazzers Monkeyworks, also heard on his latest disc, "Scenes from the Coastal Evacuation." Chris Koch brought a live set and an interview twist for Irene to WFMU.

Ok, I know it's WFMU, but I still can't believe I just heard Watcher of the Skies on the radio.

Preceded by Best Way to Travel. I almost transported myself back to my local '70s FM station.

Love those Koch Karachters. Did Smit forget his hat? No worries - still plays a great geetar.
